Elden's New Job!




As many of you have heard, Elden's Field work stopped abruptly when the Anhydrous bar that he was on had a hose that blew and sprayed anhydrous on his leg and face. He had third and second degree burns on his leg and first degree on his face. After spending three days in the Iowa City hospital, we finally got out. The medicine that he was on, hasn't agreed with him very much this week, so he has finally reduced it and he is feeling much better finally today. Elden said that his new job is being a full time daddy and that Mitchell was going to take over doing Anhydrous for him. Although with the snow I think that everyone is done with that job. We are thankful that he is alive and we know that things could have been much worse. We are going to go to a follow up appt. on Dec 10 to decide if he has to do skin grafting. Please pray that we don't have to do that. So far his wound looks like it is healing so we are thankful for that. Thanks to everyone who has prayed for us so far. Please also pray for patience for Elden and I as he starts to feel better that he may not go stir crazy.. and for me to encourage him to stay inside. Elden is looking for anyone who has a nintendo to play with to help him pass time. So if anyone has one, let us know! Thanks again for your prayers!

Harvest is Finally Done!!







I am happy to announce that harvest is finally done for the year ! We are thankful for another safe harvest without to much trouble. Here are a couple of pictures of Elden and the boys on one of their last days of harvest. Now it's on to other field work. Maybe they'll get done before Christmas we hope !)

Fun with friends











On a cold windy day like today it's always fun to have friends over to play with us. Today, we had our friends Logan and Lilly Zylstra over to play. We made turkeys and had fun playing with toys. Here are a couple of pictures of us making our turkeys. As you can see, Connor got alittle crazy with the marker, but we had lots of fun!
